Chapter 88 - Fireworks II (2/2)

”What? No good? Then um you can increase the times you hug me,” Lyn suggested. Kazuya likes hugging, right?

Kazuya looked at her with an even more frustrated long, as he sank to the ground, ”Damn,” he muttered, ”Even though I said I'd be patient, I just can't do it.”

Lyn blushed at his words, Kazuya wants to touch her like that? She supposes it's normal, even if it is Kazuya, he's still a guy after all. Lyn looked at him curiously, Kazuya had hunched up into a little ball shape.

”Kazuya?” Lyn called out, she walked over and hugged him, ”I'm sorry.”

He turned around and let out a defeated sigh, and she snuggled up to him, as his arms wrapped around her. ”I don't get it when you do this. You're usually so confident but now your just acting shy.”

If he says that, then she has to admit it too. She is not used to it, this gentleness of his. Kazuya has always been gentle with her. But recently it seems like something's different.

”You're too tense. It's fine we're just cuddling. Relax Lyn,” he murmured in her ear. For the first time, her shoulders stiff with nervousness and tension had begun to hurt. She had lived her whole life being uneasy, but right at this moment, she felt so safe. None of that unease and fear remained. He cupped her cheeks with his hands, ”Kissing is okay, right?”

”Wahh..um, Kazuya...do you know what you're doing?” Lyn knew this kiss would not be as gentle as the last one.

”It's not difficult,” it isn't? But aren't they both newbies at this stuff?

..

After a few minutes had passed of kissing and touching - yes, this time, there was more touching than she thought was possible. Bellow her neck, and his hands that trailed across her thighs. Just remembering it was rather embarrassing for her, she had yet to calm down.

”So yeah,” Kazuya gently caressed her hair, the two of them were laying down on the carpet he brought. Lyn rested on his arm, ”I guess I didn't know how many desires I had until I met you.”

”Ah, Kazuya is a pervert too.”

Kazuya laughed, ”It seems like it.”

'He's admitting it,' Lyn thought as she stared at his handsome face. In the background, Lyn could hear everybody's happy voices, and above them stretching across the night sky were beautiful fireworks. This moment is wonderful.

”I don't want Rhys getting close to you, but I don't trust anybody else but him to watch you when I can't.”

”Um, I can protect myself.”

”I know that,” Kazuya smiled, ”But, sometimes unexpected situations pop up. I want to be careful,” he murmured, ”Okay?”

”Okay,” Lyn nodded in understanding.

”Having fun?”

”Ah-huh, my idea is perfect.”

Kazuya laughed, ”As expected of my cute and adorable Lyn.”

'Cute and adorable,' Lyn wonders why Kazuya always says that whenever he addresses her. She leaned into his hold and felt him gently caress her cheeks with his free hand. 'So warm, it's so comfortable,' Lyn thought. She could bask in this warmth forever. But one day Kazuya will have to leave her, he can't stay with her forever. When that happens, Lyn wonders what she will do. Even though she lived so many years with only Pupillam and The General's company, it was never like when she is with Kazuya. When she is with Kazuya, things are different.

Her thoughts broke off when she felt him gently kiss her forehead, and her heartbeat increased. Even just him doing these little things sent her of edge. Kazuya's kindness, she wonders if one day she will be able to repay it.
